sepia hormone balance imbalance

What is Sepia? Sepia is a homeopathic remedy made from the ink of the cuttlefish. The cuttlefish is a soft-bodied mollusk with 8 arms, similar to octopus and squid. When the fish feels threatened, it squirts a dark ink called sepia that clouds the water – cuttlefish do this to hide itself. That dark ink is collected, allowed to dry, and mixed with milk (lactose) sugar to make it ingestible by humans.

Available Forms: pellets, tablets, or liquid form
